System for securing furniture and implements that risk tilting
View Patent ↗A system is provided for securing furniture and implements that risk tilting. The system includes a rail that is mounted on the floor and a roller that is mounted on the piece of furniture or the implement. An extension which engages into the rail so as to form a positive connection thereto is provided on the roller or a roller holder.
1. A system for securing an item relative to a support surface on which the item is supported, including for securing furniture relative to a floor, so as to reduce a risk of tilting of the item, the system comprising:
a rail mountable on the support surface, including mountable on a support surface in the form of a floor;
a roller set up including a roller and a securement arrangement for rotatably securing the roller to the item, the roller being displaceable along the rail to permit adjustment of the position of the item relative to the rail as the item is supported on the rail; and
an extension provided on the roller set up, the extension being engagable in a positive connection with the rail such that disengagement of the item from the rail is resisted.
2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rail has a horizontal U-shaped sliding-block guide.
3. The system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the extension is in the form of a horizontal extension that engages with the sliding-block guide of the rail is fitted to a side of the roller set up.
4. The system as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the roller set up and the rail each has a pair of opposed sides and the sliding-block guide and the extension are each provided on both sides of the rail or on both sides of the roller set up, respectively.
5. The system as claimed in claim 4 and further comprising another rail and another roller set up, the rollers of the roller set ups being mountable in a rear outer region of a floor area of the item.
6. A floor rail arrangement comprising:
a rail mountable on a support surface for securing an item relative to the support surface as the item is supported on the support surface so as to reduce a risk of tilting of the item, the rail being cooperatively configured relative to a roller set up including a roller and a securement arrangement for rotatably securing the roller to the item such that the roller is displaceable along the rail to permit adjustment of the position of the item relative to the rail as the item is supported on the rail and the rail being engageable by an extension provided on the roller set up in a positive connection with the rail such that disengagement of the item from the rail is resisted; and
a horizontal U-shaped sliding-block guide on a side of the rail.
7. A roller arrangement comprising:
a roller and a securement arrangement for rotatably securing the roller to an item to be supported on a support surface, the roller being displaceable along a rail mounted on the support surface and the rail being cooperatively configured relative to the roller set up such that the roller is displaceable along the rail to permit adjustment of the position of the item relative to the rail as the item is supported on the rail; and
an extension provided on the roller set up for engaging the rail in a positive connection such that disengagement of the item from the rail is resisted, the extension being in the form of a horizontal extension on a side of the roller set up.
